Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data we collect when you use the tunjuk.id
website or its mobile app, what that data is used for, and who it may
reach. By using our service, you agree to this policy. See also our
Terms of Use.
1. Reading Without an Account
You do not need to register to read the news on
tunjuk.id. As long as you are only reading, we do not store your identity
in our database.
What still happens when you open an article:
- The article's read counter goes up. Only the number is stored
on that article, with no reader identity attached.
- So that one person is not counted repeatedly, the list of articles you
have just opened is held briefly in your browser session and discarded
after 6 hours. Visits from crawler bots are not counted.
- As on any website, your IP address and browser type are recorded in
server logs for security and troubleshooting.
2. If You Sign In
Commenting, saving bookmarks, and receiving notifications require you to
sign in with a Google or Facebook account. We never
receive or store the password to those accounts.
From that provider we receive and store:
- your display name, email address, and profile photo link;
- the account identifier from the provider and the provider's name,
used to recognise you the next time you sign in;
- the dates your account was created and last updated in our system.
If your email address is already registered, the profile data above is
updated on the existing account — a new account is
not created.
3. Comments
When you post a comment or reply, we store the comment text, the time it
was sent, the article it belongs to, and your display name, profile photo,
and email address. Like, dislike, and spam-report counts are recorded on
that comment as well.
Your display name and profile photo are shown publicly
beside your comment. Your email address is not shown to
other readers; we use it for moderation, for example to act on accounts
that break the rules.
4. Bookmarks and Notifications
Bookmarks store which articles you marked, along with their title, image,
category, and the time you saved them, tied to your account. Only you can
see this list. Notifications are used to tell you about activity related
to your account.
5. The Contact Form
The Contact Us form asks for
your name, email address, subject, and message. Those entries are stored
on our server and at the same time forwarded as a WhatsApp
notification to the operator's number through the iConnect
service, so that your message is read promptly.
The form is also protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3 to
filter out automated submissions. For that check, your IP address
is sent to Google along with the device and browser behaviour
data that reCAPTCHA collects. Google's
Privacy Policy
and
Terms of Service
apply.
6. What Is Stored in Your Browser
Reading preferences are stored in your browser's local storage and are
never sent to our server: text size, layout width, and
the speed and voice of the text-to-speech player. All of it disappears if
you clear your browser data or switch devices.
We also use technical cookies required for the site to work: the session
cookie and the form-security (CSRF) cookie. The third parties below may
set cookies of their own.
7. Third-Party Services
Our pages load components from third parties. When those components load,
your IP address and basic browser information are visible to their
providers. Each is governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — visit statistics in
aggregate form.
- Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager
— ad delivery, including rewarded ads on article pages. Google
may use cookies to tailor ads to your browsing behaviour. Details are
in
Google's advertising policy.
- Google reCAPTCHA v3 — filtering automated
submissions on the Contact Us form.
- Google Sign-In and Facebook Login
— account sign-in.
- ShareThis — social sharing buttons on article
pages.
- Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and
jsDelivr — typefaces, icons, and the emoji
picker.
- iConnect
— forwarding Contact Us messages to the operator as WhatsApp
notifications.
Privacy policies of the main providers:
8. What Your Data Is Used For
- showing your identity on comments you post;
- storing your bookmarks and sending your notifications;
- responding to messages you send through the Contact Us form;
- moderating comments and acting on abuse;
- measuring which articles are widely read, in aggregate figures;
- keeping the service secure and troubleshooting technical faults.
We do not use your data to send promotional email without
permission.
9. Disclosure to Others
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data
may be disclosed only when:
- required by law, for example on a formal request from an authorised
agency;
- needed in good faith to protect the rights, safety, or security of
you, us, or others, including investigating fraud;
- shared with the trusted service providers that help operate this
service — as listed in section 7 — who are bound to keep
it confidential.
10. Security
We apply reasonable safeguards to protect your data, including encrypted
connections and restricted database access. Please be aware that no method
of transmitting data over the internet can be guaranteed completely
secure.
11. Retention
Account data is kept for as long as your account is active. Published
comments remain as part of the public conversation unless you ask for
their removal. Contact Us messages are kept as long as needed to respond
and to trace the history of the exchange.
12. Your Rights
You have the right to request a copy of, a correction to, or the deletion
of the personal data we hold about you. Submit your request through the
Contact Us page or by email to
admin@tunjuk.id, and we will respond within a reasonable time.
13. Account Deletion
If you no longer wish to use our service, the account linked to Google or
Facebook and its data can be deleted. The procedure, together with which
data is deleted and which is retained, is on the
Account Deletion page.
14. Children
This service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly
collect their personal data. If we learn that data belonging to a child
under 13 has been stored, we will delete it promptly.
15. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The latest version takes
effect once published on this page and supersedes the previous one. We
suggest revisiting this page occasionally.
16. Contact Us
Questions about this policy can be sent through the
Contact Us page or by email to
admin@tunjuk.id.
